Chapter Nine

Later, in the Al Hasa Hospital...

"God Damn it! Another empty chest!" There were only four chests in the hospital, and Robbie had already checked three. "Well, here's hoping." He turned to the last chest and started to walk. Suddenly, he heard a noise in the shadows. Thinking quickly, he drew his sword. "Hey! I'm armed, so you'd better come out now!"

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." Robbie had a strange case of Deja Vu. "I know that voice, but who is it?"

The man stepped out of the shadows.

"OH. MY. GOD. RAI! YOU'RE OKAY!" He charged toward the rainbow, arms wide.

"Yes Robbie, it's me. And not only am I okay, I've never felt better!" He extended a healing potion to Robbie. "Looks like you could use this."

"Oh, yeah, tha-" Rai cut him off.

"Just like I could have used some help at the camp. So you know what?" He dropped the bottle and it shattered on the floor. "You don't get the potion. I do have more... for Quicksilver members."

"WHAT?! YOU'RE WITH QUICKSILVER? HOW COULD YOU?!"

"It's not like I had much CHOICE, Robbie. I took down quite a few of their men, but they outnumbered me. I was overwhelmed. I told them that I could fight for them, and after seeing me in action, they accepted. Anyways... your stuff or your life."
